Interbody Spinal Fusion with Cages

What Is Interbody Spinal Fusion Surgery With Cages?

Interbody fusion using cages was designed as a less invasive method for achieving spinal fusion. We can perform this procedure using either an anterior or posterior approach.

Why is Interbody Spinal Fusion with Cages​ done?

The reasons for this procedure are the same as interbody fusion:

• Remove the degenerative disc
• Separate the two vertebral bodies, as they were before the disc degenerated
• Keep them in that position

This procedure opens the collapsed nerve canal and lifts pressure away from pinched nerve roots. A bone graft will grow through and around the implants, forming a bone bridge that connects the vertebral bodies above and below.

Patients come to us for degenerative disc disease treatment from Vernon, South Windsor, Manchester, Hartford, Bloomfield, Ellington and surrounding locations.
